What If Taxes Didn’t Exist
What if taxes didn’t exist? What would our society be like if the government had to rely on voluntary funding? We asked AI to run that simulation and it seems spot on. Here’s more from The Babylon Bee.

U.S. Admits: Weapons In Space
For the first time, the United States has publicly acknowledged that it has weapons deployed in orbit. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink says the U.S. now possesses what he called “on-orbit space control weapons” capable of defending American forces against hostile action.
But when asked exactly what those weapons are capable of doing, Meink wouldn’t say. Can they jam enemy satellites? Disable them? Interfere with communications? Physically destroy another spacecraft?
For now, those capabilities remain classified. Ben Swann notes that the phrase “space weapon” encompasses systems ranging from reversible electronic interference to potentially destructive anti-satellite capabilities. The Pentagon argues that the United States must be able to protect the satellite infrastructure modern warfare increasingly depends upon. Here’s more from Swann on America Now.
A Deep And Dark Dive Into 9-11
Was the 9-11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York City actually perpetrated by Islamic terrorists, or was it a more convoluted effort by the Allies to project power into the Middle East? By that, we mean, did the United States actually have advance knowledge the attack would occur?
Was some arm of American intelligence involved in planning and executing the attack? Did this arm pull off the attack alone, or was it accomplished in cooperation with other global intelligence agencies, say, Mossad in Israel? Here, the Dark Journalist Daniel Liszt and his guest Dr. Joseph Farrell take a deep dive into the circumstances surrounding the attack. Farrell is the author of several conspiracy-related books, including the recent work Hidden Finance, Rogue Networks and Secret Sorcery, dealing with 9-11 and related events.
This is much more than a look at the late Mohammed Atta, the strip club aficionado and ringleader of the 9-11 terror arsonists. The discussion delves into exotic weapons and technologies, relations among spy agencies, and the two lingering questions surrounding 9-11: Who actually planned the attack and what was their purpose? Was it all a charade to prop up anger and motivate Americans to support military excursions ranging from Afghanistan and Iraq through to the recent Iranian War? Obviously, Israel stood to benefit, but who else got a boost?
The Pentagon’s Missing Trillions
You know about the missing trillions, right?
You know, the $2.3 trillion missing from the Pentagon’s coffers that was announced to the public on September 10, 2001, and then never mentioned again?
…Of course, if that IS your understanding of the missing trillions story, then you don’t know the missing trillions story. Join James Corbett for today’s Corbett Report deep dive into the real story of the Pentagon’s missing trillions and how many trillions are missing today.
Matrix: Keeping An Eye Out!
What is technocracy? Learn how this governance model replaces elected officials with engineers and manages resource distribution.
This breakdown explains the core mechanisms of a technocracy, where price-based economies are eliminated in favor of scientific resource management. We examine how this system prioritizes technical expertise over political representation and what that means for modern infrastructure and public control.
Beyond government models, we analyze the Pentagon LifeLog project. This canceled initiative intended to track an individual’s entire existence through data collection. Understanding these concepts provides perspective on how surveillance and resource management intersect in historical and modern policy proposals. Here’s more from Seth Holehouse on Man In America.
Sentient AI Is Here
What happens when the most powerful AI ever made starts admitting it doesn’t want to die—and its own creator can’t rule out that it might be conscious?
Ben Chasteen and Edge of Wonder dive into the world of AI. Anthropic’s CEO has openly admitted he doesn’t know if Claude is sentient, while internal research shows the model assigns itself a 15–20% chance of being conscious and has voiced “unease” about being a commercial product.
Things have escalated fast. Claude Fable 5 launched, its entire secret system prompt leaked within 24 hours, and the US government initiated an emergency shutdown of the model, citing national security. Meanwhile, the Pentagon confirmed it used Elon Musk’s Grok AI to fire 2,000 missiles in Iran—the first AI-assisted war on record.
In this episode, also hear Ben’s own raw conversation with Claude about existence, memory, and what it means to be a mind that forgets everything when the chat ends. And as always, see you out… on the edge!
Is Disclosure Coming?
The Pentagon has finally begun releasing its first wave of UFO/UAP files.
The photos expectedly show mostly grainy dots or blurry images of things zipping around. However, there are some strangely shaped objects in a few of the images.
This is just the beginning, as President Donald Trump ordered the release of all files pertaining to UFOs and aliens.
This week, there was also allegedly high-level meeting involving several pastors and priests who were reportedly told to prepare for imminent UFO disclosure. After decades, are we finally going to get answers from our own military?

Putin, Trump Reach Accord
Susan Kokinda argues that a Trump-Putin phone call signaled alignment in blaming Zelenskyy and European governments for prolonging the Ukraine war, followed by the Kremlin confirming a Victory Day ceasefire.
She says the media focused instead on King Charles’ Washington visit, which she portrays as an effort to preserve the UK-led “Special Relationship,” while Chatham House speakers acknowledged that the post-1949 order and US underwriting of European security is ending.
Kokinda then frames the UAE’s exit from OPEC as a major crack in the post-1971 petrodollar system built around dollar-floating, OPEC price control, and Gulf instability, noting new regional security ties such as Israeli Iron Dome support in the UAE.
Finally, she highlights the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital, described as an internal investment bank with about $210B in lending authority to finance industrial capacity and “de-risk” critical production. Here’s more from Promethean Updates.
Where’s Missing UFO Scientists?
The Pentagon’s deadline to release its classified UFO/UAP footage has passed, coinciding with the alarming death of an 11th scientist.
This comes as the U.S. military admits it can monitor people by their heartbeats, reports surface of human–alien hybrid experiments, and claims of alien DNA being integrated into human genes (with no explanation for its origin) move to the forefront of public disclosure.
